I always thought that was what Yield Fare tickets were for. My kiddos are still too young, so I haven't needed to test it yet.

A friend's adult son is able to travel somehow on us for a fee. I've never asked exactly how, but always assumed it was at the Yield Fare rate that pops up next to the Buddy Pass price fwiw.

Thanks. That's what I thought

That's true but it's still on a standby basis. I was looking for something like "fly confirmed for less" for adult children. I didn't think there was anything but thought I'd ask the collective in case I've missed something.

Denny,

Go on Travelnet and look up those programs. I am pretty sure it lists eligibility, but I don't remember it exactly.

Scoop

I did. No dice. Going to just buy the tickets.

Denny

Denny,

Not sure if this is what you were talking about. It appears that adult children do not qualify. :mad:

Thanks for trying Scoop but your red bolded sentence is the problem. They are my adult, non dependent children. They can get a yield fare at a lower, standby, priority (S3C I think). I'm just gonna buy them the tickets.

Denny

Yeah, the "minor dependent/ full time student" thing is the gotcha.

As soon as they graduate and/or turn 24, adios. No more freebie or S2 travel.

S3C at a cost is a crapshoot at best. My Mom won't even non-rev on Delta anymore after being treated poorly in ATL years ago, she buys senior citizen tickets on United instead. Pretty bad when she'd rather pay to fly on someone else than stand by for Delta.

It takes a day after the As are out so you can filter the Avoids out of the Bs. One more reason for upgrading. You fly with your favorite A on every trip and get the schedule a day sooner. :)
